So today I learnt that Amazon.com is acutally hosted on Google Cloud Platform uses Google Domains as well as 1&1 Hosting, alongside Adobe TagManager and Google Analytics. Who could have known? \s

Something is really off there, what do you do to get these results? https://sitestacks.com/amazon.com

wow !! unsure if that's actually true.

It's at least partially true:

This is valid: https://mail.google.com/a/amazon.com

This is not valid: https://mail.google.com/a/thisisafakedomain.cx

All that means is that they at least used Google Apps at one time. I have a number of abandoned accounts that show as valid even though the domains are dead and the accounts are no longer used.

The same type of domain enumeration doesn't work for Drive.
